Nebraska's apportionment for irriga
tiou projects this year is $235,101 , which
should be snflloieut to redeem many
acres of its excellent soil that has only
lacked sufficient moisture to make it
produce abundantly.
It is to bo hoped that these Kansas

pressed with their visit to Nebraska as
to dooido to take up their permanent
abode in this state , and make portions
Of it their play ground.
The Fremont Tribune Is enterprising ,

President HooBovolt should not per
mlt worry over his standing in the republican
publican party regarding the president
ial nomination next year to Inter cro
with the enjoyment ho isablo to got out
of his present trip through the country ,
The matter IB definitely Bottled as far aa
the rank and file of the party are concerned
corned ,
It appears that the troubles in the
postolllco department will bo well and
satisfactorily adjuutcd by n vigorous republican
publican administration long before the
opposition will got 11 ohanco to bring it
up for the consideration of ; the people.
The riisoala are being promptly and
vigorously ejected as rapidly as un

The damming of Niagara has always
boon considered ono of the impossibili
ties , but it is stated that such a plan Is
seriously contemplated by the United
States and British governments. If
these two powora ttvho it into their

it will certainly bo dammed. It is con
sidered that In this way only can the
great lakes bo raised to their original
level.
The farmer who thinks ho will bo too
late in planting Ida corn crop can well
afford to devote his acres to beotfO

Judge J. B , Barnes of Norfolk has an
nounced his candidacy for the oilloo of

While various parts of the country
are being afllicted with floods Norfolk
has escaped entirely. Not evou the
gulch has so much as attempted to over
flow since very early In the season , be
fore much damage to growing things
was possible. It has also escaped other
calamities , such aa oyolones , hail storms
and drouth and the crops that are up
are fairly jumping to attain their maxi
mum growth.
Since it developed that Governor
Penuypacker was dictated by selfish in
terests in his attempt to muzzle the press
of Pennsylvania , reserving to himself
the right to abuse , ho has grown exceed
ingly unpopular and it will devolve
upon the republicans to either suppress
him or bo prepared to see the state take
a democratic turn at the next election ,
something scarcely to bo thought of in
connection with Pennsylvania.
With the settlement of the standing
of President Roosevelt in regard to the
coming presidential nomination , in
terest again centers In the question of
who will be chosen to lead the demo
cratic hosts. This will not bo as
readily adjusted as was that in the re
publican camp and ; nfterjJt Is settled
there will bo some diffloulty'.iu convinc
ing the people that the country requires
redeeming through the democratic pro
cess.
It Is again reported that John Wllkcs
Booth , the assassin of President Lincoln ,
has but recently died , having lived in
Kentucky and Texas since the assassina
tion , disguised as a negro. This is a
story that has bobbed up with variations
every year or BO since 'the Berime was
committed. With the many deaths
the outlaw has experienced siuco these
exciting days , it is probablygsafo to con
clude that ho is dead , very effectually ,
and that the crlmo has boon expiated
as fully as his worthless life was capa
ble.
Twenty-four days of strike has cost
the laborers of New York $12,000,000 in
wagea and hits cost their omplnycrR
many times that amount. The laborers ,
however , have another nil vantage over
employers , and that la through the com
munity of interests between labor or
ganizations contributions are received
from kindred organizations that go to
ward their support , while many of thorn
recolvo employment temporarily in in-
( ItiHtrita not riifcotod by the strike.
Nevertheless strikes are expensive luxu
ries and it would bo of benefit to the
country if they could bo eliminated
from the situation altogether.
Now that the leading milliners have
taken u hand and propose to stop the
purchase of the plumage of song and
insectivorous birds , ono of the greatest
sources of daughter of these helpful
creatures will ceaso. It is not improba
ble , however , that the action of the mil
liners was dictated by the sentiment of
these who have b3on wearing the plum
age , unconscious of the slaughter to the
innocents that has boon wrought
through the demands of fathlon. If the
boya with guns , sling shots and other
weapons conM now bo induced to give
up the birds aa targets the little crea
tures would Increase and multiply to
the benefit of all.
Madison county Mill have seventeen
delegates to the coming state conven
tion , the same as last year. The total
number of delegates has boon reduced
and the representation of several coun
ties has also been out down owing to n
failure to endorse Governor Mickey.
Douglas couuty auiTerod the loss of
throe delegates , after an unavailing ef
fort to have the apportionment based on
the vote for another candidate than gov
ernor. It should bo a matter for com
ment on the part of the state , that while
Madison county had the leading candi
date in convention in opposition to
Mickey , It came up with its old-time re
publican majority for the head of the
ticket.
The republican central coijmittco"of
Nebraska has anticipated the action
and desires of the party and given an
unanimous endorsement to the adminis
tration of President Roosevelt. The
party will have to wait bnt a oouplo of
months until It will have an opportunity
through its delegates of endorsing the
action of the committee , and when the
voters got an opportunity they won't do
a thing but endorse the action of the
convention by a majority that will bo
unprecedented. From all present indi
cations the mon who have been voting
the fusion ticket for years will vie with
the ropublicana in an effort to make
that endorsement unanimous. It will
take a stupendous effort for any party
or faction to produce a man who will
cut Into Roosjovelt'a popularity in Ne
braska to any extent whatever.
All this fuss about the republicans
being led away from Roosevelt appears
to have boon mere talk , unsupported by
facts. The way state conventions ,
party loader ? , and state committees are
declaring themselves for the present ex
ecutive , make it look like no other
uauio would bo mentioned for the nomi
nation when the convention meets.
The loaders have probably Bounded the
sentiment of the people and consider
that it would bo an nuwlso policy to op
pose something that they so earnestly
and nnitddly demand. Roosevelt may
not bo entirely satisfactory to some of
them , bnt it is easy to bo soon that the
success of the party depends largely
upon his endorsement , viewed at this
distance. Now that Senator Hauua has
decided to get iu line , all the prominent
leaders have at least decided not to op
pose the desires of the people.
Theio are those to nlwaya fear some
calamity in Nebraska. Just now the
pessimists are given to mourning the
loss of a largo portion of corn crop
through the oxcosslvft moisture that is
retarding the work on the low lands ,
but Nebraska usually has a way of com
ing out ahead and disappointing these
grumblers , audit is a safe bet that the
state will have an abnudanco of corn
when the time of the harvest arrives.
The drouth has made partial failures of
crops iu Nebraska , but the season has
not been known when there was EO
much moisture in the state that it was
impossible to grow crops , and largo
healthy crops. If the lowlands provo
too wet the hills and plains will supply
the corn while the low lands will develop
volop some crop that will pay equally
well. There Is not a doubt that Ne
braska will bo on deck with some mag' '
niflcont crops when the time for harvest
arrives ,
Returns from all parts of the county
show the overwhelming defeat of the
bond proposition submitted to the voters
of the county and voted on yesterday.
It indicates that while the voters may
not have meant to ccusuro the commis
sioners for their action iu the tuatter ,
they in nowise approved of the propos'- '
tlou submitted , and that the board will
bo thrown on the resources available to
meet and deal with the situation , whloli
they should at once proceed to do ,
While the voters bavo disapproved o'
the means offered It may bo taken as
conclusive that they do not disapprove
of the end in view and that they desire
the bridges rebuilt andrtho roads repaired
paired , regardless. This the board
I should ondoavortodo aa thoroughly and
promptly as possible , if it is only tem
porary work. The bridges and the
rondo should bo placed In passable con
dition until lucds are m\do available
for permanent repairs ,
The St. Paul Republican thinks that
If the democrats are really in earno-t
about the election of a non-partisan
Judiciary , it would bo the thing for tint
party , as the minority prty > , to endorse
the republican nominee , which I ho Col
umbus Tvlegram admits to bo 'not far
from the right position , and la of the
opinion that the party it represents
should make the first concession in
favor of non-parttHauship. Speaking
of the democratic candlda'o who
by virtue of.hls position has been
the only ono mentioned for the ofllco ,
the Oolumbna paper says : "Tho Telegram -
gram positively knows that Chief Justice
Sullivan docs not desire to again become
a candidate , " The Telegram's position
ia a logical ono but it early indicates
that the democrats should bo conceded
a right to dictate the candidate to bo
named by the republicans , which might
not go down with the majority of the
republicans of the state.
It is remarked that while these who
led the democratic party to victory in
the past were free to offer their advice
on the conduct of the party when it was
asked , they were very modest about it ,
whllo Mr. Bryan who twice led the
same party to defeat intrudes his advice
on every possible occasion and in fact
has endeavored to as'umo a dictatorship
that would seem to keep the party iu
the unpopular attitude into which it
has drifted under his leadership. Ho Is
a powerful auto convention loader , as
has been proven in the past , and the
other wouldbo leaders of the party ap
pear to bo powerless to overcome his in
fluence , But us a leader of the people
during a campaign , Mr. Bryan has
proven a failure. Perhaps , however , it
is bnt just to s.iy that ho ha- taken the
leadership when the pirtywas in the
wort-t possible condition. The party
itself had overridden the wishes of the
people prior to his ascendancy and it
would have taken more than a leader to
bring it to victory in spite of thd record
under Cleveland.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
Exceisive Rainfall Does Much Damage
In Largo Sections.
Washington , Juno 3. The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau
U as follows : The states of the lower
Missouri valley aud portions of tbo
Mississippi valley have Buffered much
from heavy rains , especially Iowa , tbo
eastern portions ot Kansas and Ne
braska and western Missouri. The
drought continues in New England.
The greater part of the week was unseasonably -
seasonably cool in the lower Missouri
valley and the lower gulf states , damaging -
aging frosts occurring in the last
named district.
Wet weather has caused further de
lay In corn planting in the Missouri
end upper Mississippi valleys , where
much of this work is unfinished and
the early planted is becoming weedy.
In the eastern portion of Kansas and
Nebraska and Iowa corn fields have
been badly washed out and much re
planting will bo necessary. In Iowa
the acreage will be materially reduced.
Winter wheat on lowlands in the
eastern portions of Kansas and Ne
braska and northwestern Missouri baa
sustained Injury from flood , but on
the whole the crop has made satlsfac
tory advancement.
In Nebraska , the Dakotas and north
ern Minnesota spring wheat has made
splendid progress , but in southern
Minnesota , Wisconsin and Iowa the
crop on lowlands has suffered much
from heavy rains.
On lowlands In the lower Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys oats

Moody Returns to Washington.
Washington , Juno 3. Secretary
Moody returned to Washington from
his trip through the west , during
which ho spent almost the entire
month of May with the president , join
ing him when ho entered California
and leaving him last Sunday morning.
The secretary says President Roosevelt
velt Is enjoying his trip thoroughly.
Secretary Moody says the president
aimed to create a sentiment In favor
of a larger navy , notably in the inte
rior of the country , where the people
do not have the opportunity to see
warships. Secretary Moody himself
Is anxious there shall be no retrogres
sion in our naval progress.
Men Will Go Back as Individuals.
New York , Juno 3. At the conclu
sion of a conference between New
York building dealers and the United
Drivers' association and the building
trades unions , Michael Stanton , chair
man for the united building trades , said
that no settlement had been reached ,
but it was safe to say the yards would

ly $1,000,000.
Situation at Kansas City is Con
siderably Improved.
FOOD SUPPLIES RUNNING 8HORT
Provision ! From OutwIde'Wlll Be Cor
dially Welcomed Many Bodies Seen
Floating Down the Stream Loss
Runs Away Up In the Millions.
Kansas City , Juno 3. The rains
have ended , the sun Is visible for the
first tlmo In a week and for this and
other reasons it la thought that the
great dangers of the flood are past.
The waters of the Kaw rlvor are
etcadlly declining. In the Missouri
the high stage of thlrty-flvo feet Is
still maintained , but this is duo to
the rise which has been coming down
the Missouri proper , and which has
offset the fall In the Kaw. It Is the
water of the latter stream , however ,
that has caused all the damage in this
city and in Kansas City , Kan. , and
with it at a normal stage , business In
Kansas City will shortly resume usual
conditions. This city has , by n nar
row margin , escaped a serious shortage -
ago of food , has faced the peril of
flro , utterly helpless to avert Its consequences
quences , has suffered millions of dollars
lars of damage to property and sus
tained a loss in llfo that in all proba
bility never will bo accurately meas
ured , and now It Is commencing to
bellovo In the promise of better things.
Waters Are Falling.
The situation shows Improvement on
almost every sldo ; the waters are fall
ing , the waterworks will soon resume
operations , the gas has been turned
Into the mains once moro , and while
there Is no superabundance of food ,
there is no immediate danger of a se
rious shortage. The city has cared
for her own In royal fashion , but
there is not sufficient food on hand to
permit the relief committees to feel
easy over the outlook. Provisions
from outsldo will be cordially wel
comed.
The food supply la nmplo on both
sides of the river , the vast quantities
of meat in the packing houses having
been reached by expeditions sent out
by the packers.
Two men lost their lives whllo en
deavoring to save others. Joseph
Keenan was drowned while endeavor
ing to rescue some people from the
Adams house , across from the Union
station , and Edward Brooks lost his
life In Liberty street , where his skiff
was overturned by an eddy whllo ho
was endeavoring to get another man
out of a building. A number of bodies
were seen floating down the stream ,
but are believed to be these of per
sons drowned further up the Kaw ,
probably at North Topeka.
Many people arc still In the ware
houses and ofllco buildings and will
remain there until the flood subsides.
Thirty Bodleo In Wreckage.
Superintendent Young of the Swift
Packing company said that there were
probably twenty-five or thirty bodies
In the wreckage lodged in the Armour-
dale packing house district. The men
employed on the steamer Columbus
brought the same report. The Colum
bus sent out skiffs to "Tho Patch , " a
slum district near Armour's packing
house , and twenty-eight men and ono
woman were rescued from huts.
These refugees reported that they had
counted twenty-two of their neighbors
and friends who had lost their lives.
There Is very llttlo probability of
much greater financial damage than
has already been done. Thcro have
been some reports of the settling of
largo buildings In the wholesale dis
trict , but they appear to have settled
In a remarkably even manner , and nn
export examination will bo required
to provo that they are In a dangerous
condition.
Following is a list of the structures
that have been damaged or swept
away : Sixteen brldpes , 1,000 build
ings In Armourdale , 500 buildings In
Argentine. 400 buildings In the east
bottoms , 200 buildings In Sheffield , 100
buildings In the west bottoms.
The Burlington and Milwaukee
bridges across the Missouri and the
Missouri Pnclflc bridge across the
Kansas are Intact , but the approaches
are wrecked.
At Kansas City , Kan.
The thousands of refugees at Kan-
eas City , Kan. , spent another night of
wretchedness. Without water , save
for urgent needs , without beds , with
the upper part of the town unable to
house In any comfort the horde of ref
ugees , the night was merely a repe
tition of others since the coming of
the flood.
The wretchedness , however , Is moro
mental than physical , although the dis
comforts duo to herding largo bodies
of people in buildings noj built for
the purpose , and trying to feed an
army without a commissary depart
ment , are many. Leavenworth , to the
north , the only way by which the su
burb can bo entered with stores , Is
the spot to which all eyes turn con
stantly In hope. Rations sufficient to
last several days , if carefully econo
mized , were brought In during the day
and additional bedding , clothing , mod-
iclno and other supplies are expected
within the next twenty-four hours.
Much mental discomfort exists because -
cause of the separation of members
of families who had barely time to
escape from the flood. Since Sunday
fathers , mothers , wives , husbands ,
brothers and sisters have visited every
part of town , particularly the places
of public refuge , looking for other
members of their families. In their
agitated state of mind the worst Has
always been feared , but In the great

millions of dollars for railroad and
manufacturing purposes , whereas most
of It Is now planted In corn.
Passenger Train Missing.
The Journal says : Chicago , Bur

from Chicago to Kansas City , due hero-
at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon , has. 7
been lost track of. It Is not deemed : 7i
possible , nor Is the thought entertained i
by the railroad officials , that the train ,
has run Into the flood. Nevertheless ,
General Agent Harmon was notified :
from the Chicago offices of the ex
traordinary occurrence and Superin
tendent Mulhern was urged to exor
cise every possible effort to locate the
missing train and relieve Its passen
gers at all cost and hazard.
IMPROVEMENT AT DES MOINES.
Governor Cummins Decides to Borrow/
Money to Aid Refugees.
Dos Moines , Juno 3. It has beea
practically determined that .there will
be no extra session of the legislature.
Governor Cummins is satisfied that ho
can supply the needs of the flood suf
ferers and tornado victims In an Irreg
ular manner by borrowing money and
the next session to approve his course.
The flood in DCS Moines Is still dis
heartening , but the water Is falling :
rapidly. The wide territory that was
flooded presents a sad picture. Men
and women who have anxiously
watched for the water to go down
wandered over tho. muddy streets to >
the houses which had been homes.
As each ono looked through the door
of his home an expression of misery
passed over his countenance. There ,
within the ruins , furniture was scat
tered about the rooms , mud covered
the carpets and the walls were coated
with a dirty slime. Many are planning-
to move out of these places. The-
walls are damp and every effort will
be put forth by the committees In the
field to see that they are dried as rap
idly as possible , for sickness , It IB
feared , may come If people are allowed
to enter them in their present condi
tion.
